Science, Discovery and Exploration

Kids come to us filled with questions... but without instruction manuals for the answers! Sometimes it's nice to let them figure it out themselves. Science experiments help them delve deep into their questions and come back out knowing more than they ever thought possible. (And certainly more than we ever could have told them!)

Blast 100 feet into the air with this revolutionary Meteor Rocket and its patented baking soda fueling system that has thrilled thousands upon thousands of kids across the world. This unique rocket is an adventure unlike any other. The Meteor is a science experience kids will never forget. Go for a new altitude record by varying the proportions of baking soda and vinegar, try balsamic vinegar to see if it gives an extra "kick" to the fuel, and change the fuselage length to test flight characteristics. Chemistry and physics will never be the same! You can use the rocket again and again - just refill the fuel! The baking soda and vinegar formula starts a chemical reaction inside the patented fueling module, creating enormous power that blasts the Meteor over 100 feet into the sky. Ready? Set? Blast off! There's nothing else like it!

See what kinds of things your magnets will pick up! Try paper clips, coins, keys, pins, nails, pens or aluminum foil. Which of these items are attracted to your magnets? Whatever is attracted to your magnets probably contains iron. The N and S on the ends of the horseshoe magnets stand for North Pole and South Pole. Every magnet has at least two poles, a North and a South. Experiment with your other magnets by holding them up to each end of the horseshoe magnets. Opposite poles attract or pull together. Like poles repel or push apart. Learn so much about magnets with this 24-piece kit!
